TL: Etude
The hypnotized Space Devouring Beast Emperor Ling honestly disclosed everything he knew.
Very soon.
Ye Tian learned the reason.
Originally, the Ape Dragon Beast World was dominated by the ape beasts. One day, a group of dragons descended, and most of the apes were killed, with the dragon clan taking control of the entire beast world and giving birth to many beasts with dragon bloodlines.
It was for this reason that this beast world was called the Ape Dragon Beast World by many beasts.
Once, the Ape Dragon Beast World was very powerful, with many Emperor-level beasts and even a few above the Emperor level.
However, the dragon clan had set up a super array using the foundation of the entire world, drawing on the world's power to create wondrous objects. This led to the decline of the Ape Dragon Beast World.
Since then, as the world's power was drawn away, the yuan qi of heaven and earth in the Ape Dragon Beast World greatly diminished. It became very difficult for beasts with Dawn-level bloodline talents to be born, almost becoming a legend.
Gradually, the Ape Dragon Beast World declined, and the dragon clan had long since left.
Every ten thousand years, the Ape Dragon Beast World would give birth to a wondrous object, and then a dragon would come to collect the wondrous object and leave.
"As the world's power is drawn away, it will gradually wither. If the array is not dismantled, the Ape Dragon Beast World will eventually become a dead world!" Ye Tian speculated.
With further questioning, Ye Tian soon discovered a major secret.
The origin of the Enlightenment Stele!
The Enlightenment Stele turned out to be one of the wondrous objects nurtured by the dragon clan!
The Enlightenment Stele was born 13,000 years ago, and as it was located in the territory of the Tianlin Beasts, it was occupied by them. This led them to rise to prominence.
Even so, the Tianlin Beast Clan did not dare to move the Enlightenment Stele, knowing it belonged to the dragon clan, and only dared to use it for enlightenment.
But ten thousand years passed, and the dragon clan had not yet come to retrieve the Enlightenment Stele. The Tianlin Beast Clan began to entertain the idea of permanently occupying it, and other beasts also gradually developed the intention to snatch it.
However,
They were worried that the dragon clan was only temporarily delayed and did not dare to really snatch the Enlightenment Stele. If they destroyed it and the dragon clan blamed them, they would not be able to bear it.
So, they continued to wait!
This waiting lasted another 3,000 years, until finally the Three-Eyed Divine Monkey clan could wait no longer and launched a war to snatch the Enlightenment Stele.
In the end, Emperor Ling got the Enlightenment Stele!
Emperor Ling even wondered if the dragon clan had forgotten about the Ape Dragon Beast World or if there was some internal problem with the dragon clan, which caused them to not retrieve the Enlightenment Stele.
"Wondrous object!"
Ye Tian gazed at the Enlightenment Stele, filled with curiosity and desire.
He also learned from Emperor Ling about the classification of wondrous objects. They were all extraordinary treasures nurtured by heaven and earth, divided into one to nine stars based on their abilities and functions, with the Enlightenment Stele classified as a five-star wondrous object!
According to Ye Tian's guess, the War God Stele should be a four-star wondrous object, slightly inferior to the five-star wondrous object, the Enlightenment Stele.
"Any world with yuan qi can give birth to wondrous objects. Could Earth also have given birth to them?"
Ye Tian speculated.
But Earth was vast, and he had not yet finished exploring even Huaxia (China), making it very difficult to find Earth's wondrous objects, without any clues at all.
Despite this, a five-star wondrous object was very precious, and this time he has made a great gain.
"Collect!"
Ye Tian tried to collect the wondrous object into his spatial storage, but he was stunned.
The Enlightenment Stele still stood there, not collected into his spatial storage.
"It can't be put into spatial storage?"
Ye Tian frowned.
He asked Emperor Ling again and then understood the reason.
It turns out that wondrous objects cannot be collected by spatial equipment. Wondrous objects contain strange laws, and ordinary storage equipment is useless. Otherwise, Emperor Ling would have long used his own spatial storage to collect the Enlightenment Stele, instead of keeping the huge Enlightenment Stele in the cave.
"What a hassle!"
Ye Tian sighed.
Immediately.
He transformed into a giant ape a thousand meters tall and then grabbed the hundred-meter-high Enlightenment Stele and left.
As for Emperor Ling, he naturally had his soul extinguished by a soul spike.
He was not merciful to his enemies.
Disguised as a giant ape and clutching the Enlightenment Stele, Ye Tian realized such a conspicuous approach could bring disaster. Who knew if there were hidden terrifying Emperor-level beasts in the Ape Dragon Beast World? So, he activated his Invisibility Talent.
This way, Ye Tian traveled without any beasts detecting his presence.
After a long journey.
Ye Tian arrived at the spatial rift, where he saw a huge ape, as large as a mountain, sitting there with golden pupils.
By the giant ape's side were many Saint-level beasts and a large number of King beasts.
"Golden eyes, so familiar, it's that Emperor-level beast that attacked me with a golden spear!"
Ye Tian recognized it at a glance.
Approach!
His Copy Talent enveloped the giant ape, and soon the ape's talents appeared on Ye Tian's retina.
Species: Raging Eyes
Bloodline Talent: Moonlight
Strength Talent: High
Defense Talent: High
War Spear Talent: Intermediate
"This talent is too poor, isn't it?"
Ye Tian had initially thought the owner of the golden eyes was formidable, but it turned out to be weak!
Even some of its subordinate beasts had much better special talents. Its only advantage was cultivation level; otherwise, it would have been utterly useless.
At the same time.
Ye Tian also discovered a special beast.
Species: Undying Blood Ape
Bloodline Talent: Morning Star
Strength Talent: High
Defense Talent: High
Speed Talent: High
Soul Transfer Talent: High
"High Soul Transfer Talent. The Golden Spirit Ape that was killed by Yun Mengli must have occupied another body and entered Earth. The Golden Spirit Ape's strength, defense, and speed talents were all intermediate, which completely matches with the one level downgrade in talents after soul transfer."
Ye Tian thought to himself.
Although this Undying Blood Ape was only a Saint-level beast, its threat was significant with its High Soul Transfer Talent. Given time, it could repeatedly invade Earth without dying.
Because as long as its soul lived, it could return to its original body.
"Such a dangerous beast, better to kill it!"
Ye Tian activated his Soul Spike Talent.
Puff!
The Soul Spike penetrated the Undying Blood Ape's soul.
Now in its original form, even if it was in a clone state, the soul's destruction meant certain death.
"What's going on?"
The Raging Eyes saw its prided subordinate, the Undying Blood Ape, fall and die, its breath dissipating completely.
He was shocked.
How could a Saint-level beast suddenly die? It wasn't at the end of its lifespan!
"Enemy attack!"
The Raging Eyes suddenly realized.
Just then.
A spatial blade appeared, striking with a blow.
"Emperor Ling!!!"
The Raging Eyes mistakenly thought Emperor Ling had attacked, as it only knew of Emperor Ling as a beast capable of using spatial blades.
If Emperor Ling were still alive, he would surely have scolded the Raging Eyes.
Sadly, Emperor Ling would never know he was misunderstood by the Raging Eyes, who, before dying, saw a giant ape and realized it wasn't Emperor Ling. But before he could guess who it was, his body was split in two by the spatial blade, dying completely.
"Spatial Imprisonment!"
A voice filled the void.
The next second, the void froze, and countless beasts were immobilized.
Then.
A sea of fire descended, burning countless beasts into nothingness.
